It’s Independent Bookstore Day, when we celebrate the small shops and local heroes who bring communities together for an all-day party where the guest of honor is your TBR. 🎉
More than 1200 bookshops across America are filled today with balloons and authors and swag. And don’t forget the mimosas, a Green Apple Books + Silent Book Club tradition that kicked off in 2016 when our motto was “Read, Wine, Repeat.” Green Apple is still serving up mimosas in San Francisco and Silent Book Club has expanded to almost 1,000 chapters around the world. We’ve come a long way!


If you can’t make it to a bookstore in person today, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite deals to share with you online. Bookshop.org is offering free shipping on their entire website all weekend long. So now’s the time to shop our list of Silent Book Club Reader Favorites.
If audiobooks are your jam, head over to Libro.fm to shop their incredible Indie Bookstore Day sale, with TONS of bestsellers marked down to $4.99. We’re stocking up for summer!
And finally, if you’ve been eyeing the Silent Book Shop and waiting for the right time to order some merch, today’s the day! Enter promo code IBD2024 to get 15% off your order through April 30.



Happy #indiebookstoreday! Have fun out there and tag us on Instagram @silentbookclub to show off your loot.
